No route to host with Owncloud

[M.O.S. Studios]

Hey everyone,

 

Here is a bit of a weird one. I set up ownCloud using a PAAS service and it is running well. However, when I try to use curl from PHP, I keep getting an error that says "Failed to connect to THEURL port 80: No route to host"

This is weird for two reasons.

1. I also tried uploading it from my computer's terminal, using curl, and that

2. Until about a day ago, I had my own cloud on a shared host, and the PHP code worked just fine.

 

Here is the PHP code I used:

    function uploadToOwncloud($args = array()){
        $uploadPath     = $args['uploadPath'];
        $product_data   = fopen('php://memory', 'r+');
        fputs($product_data, $args['product_data']);
        rewind($product_data);

        $user           = $args['user'];
        $pass           = $args['password'];
        $url            = "MYOWNCLOUDURL.COM/remote.php/webdav" .urlencode($uploadPath);

        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$pass");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
        
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $product_data);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, fstat($product_data)['size']);
        
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, TRUE); // --data-binary
        
        $curl_response_res = curl_exec ($ch);
        var_export(curl_error($ch));
        return;
    }

Here is the terminal command I used:

curl -u "user:password" -T test.txt "http://myowncloudurl.com:80/remote.php/webdav/text.txt"

I tried adding my domains to the whitelist, and turning off the fire wall

Thanks

You should clarify:

• You have not changed client php code at all?   
• When you ran curl from the cli on this same computer, did that work?

Have you rebooted, the workstation you are using to connect to your owncloud?  If it involved a DNS change on your part, if the DNS information was cached and stale, it's possible that your workstation was still resolving to the old host, and an IP that perhaps no longer works.

It's also possible that this PaaS platform doesn't have port 80 open.

Thanks for the reply.

I only changed the URL from the OwnCloud host to the new one.

When I ran the terminal, it worked perfectly.

I rebooted and tried from a private browser that doesn't keep the cache.

Based on your statements, the only thing I can think of, is that the new server might be restricting PHP from making socket connections of any type.   Given that you are running this, I gather as page triggered within the web server (php running via the web server) then it might be something in the php.ini setting that is different and more restrictive.  I would go through the php.ini for the new server in detail, starting with a basic phpinfo().
